Ex-wife, Please Come Back
Chapter 88 Aftereffect

For a moment, Noah sympathized with Alice. No matter how many mistakes she made before, her heart for Jacob at the moment was genuine. But that didn't affect love. Compared with those things touched others, love was always unprincipled and would not be affected by it.

When Noah walked up to Alice, he saw the tiredness on Alice's face. He said, "Alice, go back to have a rest first, and come to replace me tomorrow. I'm here today, and Jacob won't wake up in short time. If he wakes up, I'll call you immediately. You can go back now.

Seeing that Noah was sincere, Alice didn't insist. "Okay, I'll go back to have a rest. Call me if you need anything."

When she saw Bess, she nodded to her and said, "Please take care of Jacob."

Bess nodded. Although she was dissatisfied with the woman's behavior, at this moment, Bess also felt sorry for her. The life and death of her beloved man was uncertain. No one could endure such pain. Only by experiencing it could one feel the same way. Of course, Bess wouldn't have thought of this before, but now it was different.

Watching Alice's back, Bess sighed. "I've called Uncle Carlos. I guess that Sara has known Jacob had an accident. Although I don't want to disturb her at this time, I'm afraid that she will blame me for not telling her in the future. Women are all sharp tongues but tender hearts, and I know Sara well."

Noah nodded and looked back at Jacob, sighing.

It was said that people died like the light was off. Andy died, and Jacob was still in comma. At this moment, Noah's phone rang. He took out his phone, looked at the number on the screen and gave a hint to Bess with his eyes. Then he walked out of the ward.

At the corner of the hospital, Noah could finally answer the phone at ease. "Hey, how's the investigation going?"

"Hello, Mr. Noah. Half of the truth has been found out. "A deep male voice came into Noah's ears.

"What do you mean by saying half?" Noah frowned, as if he would explode in the next second.

The accident has been found out. The brake of the car has been tweaked by someone. Therefore, during the head-on crash, Andy swerved too hard which causing problems in the balance of the car. Fortunately, Andy was aware of this problem. The monitor showed that Andy rushed from the driving seat to the back row at the last moment to protect Mr. Jacob. The scene was really moving. The man's deep voice was a little slow, as if he wanted to make it clear word by word.

"Who did it?" One of Noah's hands was clenched into a fist, which might hit the wall at any time.

"This is the other half that we haven't found out. The fingerprints on the car have been checked, but there is no new discovery, indicating that the person who did it is very experienced and skilled. I guess Mr. Jacob must have offended someone this time."

Noah interrupted, "Well, I want you to investigate the case, not to praise the murder for his ability."

Being scolded by Noah, the man realized that he had said something wrong in an instant. He changed the topic and said, "By the way, Mr. Noah, do you read the news? We also found something about it. Raising his eyebrows, Noah asked, "What news?"

"Last night, Mr. Jacob had a fight with a man in the pub. And you were on the site. I thought you knew. It was shot by the famous paparazzi, Colin. We have talked to him and even checked his call records. Yesterday, only the phone of the bar called him before that. It seems that the staff is very careful. Only half about the news has been found out till now. Colin also said that he would suppress this news and we need 20 million dollars to him as hush money. Mr. Noah, do you think we should pay the money to block the news?" The man on the other end of the line said in a cautious tone.

With a sigh, Noah said, "Well. Let me wait and see. It won't affect much. If we failed to settle it, we'll pay hush money. Keep investigating this matter. If there is any new information, contact me at any time." After hanging up the phone, Noah frowned. Someone wanted to force Jacob to death! The schemer was so efficient. It couldn't be his temporary intention. Was there someone following Jacob? With goose bumps on his back, Noah turned around and saw Bess not far away.

"What's wrong? It took you a long time to answer the phone, so I came out to have a look. " Bess asked with concern.

"It doesn't matter. I sent someone to investigate what happened last night. Sure enough, someone scheme on Jacob, but I can't replace out who it is. It seems that the other party is well prepared." Noah stared at Bess.

"What? Wasn't it an accident last night? Then call the police. Let them investigate. " Bess was surprised. Although she knew that the world was dangerous, she didn't expect it to be so terrible.

"It's useless. There is neither evidence nor clue. As for enemies, Jacob was busy in business. He must have offended tens of people. This was like looking for a needle in a haystack. What's more, if the news spread out, it would only make others add insult to injury. If we can't replace it out, we can only turn the big thing into the small one. We have to take this hidden loss. Noah's analysis hit the nail on the head. Bess nodded. She didn't expect that before he took the baptism of the business, Noah had become so mature and rational, which made Bess admire him. What she said just now was indeed not thoughtful. "Well, we can make a plan after Jacob wakes up. By the way, you fell asleep just now. I read a news that Jacob had a fight in the bar. The news was exaggerated. It reported that Jacob fought with someone for no reason, which will have a great negative impact on his company. "

Noah frowned, "I just knew it. Don't worry. I'll replace someone to deal with it. We'll take this as a lesson. Just be careful from now on. "

While they were talking, the two had arrived at Jacob's ward.

Coincidentally, Bess's assistant came with food. After knocking on the door and putting down the food, the assistant went back to the company to work. Bess was busy every day, but the situation was urgent, so she had her assistant to stay in the company and report to her at any time.

After setting up the small table, Noah and Bess began to eat. Since the assistant had brought the food in an insulation barrel, the food no longer looked tasty, but the two were still eating happily. Noah picked up a sausage for Bess, and Bess picked up a piece of salmon for Noah. The two looked at each other and smiled. The tacit understanding was spilled over their words.

The food could fill people's stomach and make them feel happy for a short time. For the time being, Noah had forgotten the unhappy things. He just enjoyed the food with Bess. It was said that happiness was like water for people. To Noah, happiness was not only water, but also food.

If other people saw the scene of the two eating, they would definitely feel extraordinarily warm, not superficially, but a feeling from the bottom of their heart.

Perhaps happiness was short-lived, so Noah felt that they finish the meal so soon. He smiled happily. As if he had never eaten such delicious food, he had eaten countless delicacies, but they were not as delicious as this ordinary meal. Narrowing his eyes, Noah knew that beauty was in the eyes of the beholder.

After eating, the doctor came in.

The doctor walked to the bed and checked Jacob. He turned to look at Noah and said, "It's normal that the patient hasn't woken up for a short time because he is seriously injured. You should pay attention to the patient's changes all the time. If he has a fever, you should tell the nurse in time. Nothing else. I just checked it and found that he is fine."

Noah nodded, "Doctor, he is badly injured. Will there be any aftereffect?"

Bess nodded. It was reasonable for Noah to worry about this. After all, Jacob was seriously injured.
